A hot day greeted racers and fans to the first meeting of the new year with plenty of action on the track to keep everyone entertained.

Highlights included Bobby Owen's taking home the cash with a win in Top Comp, the Freight Train F/E dragster breaking the end of a crank and an RX7 slammed the wall after a big oil-down near half track.Included in the carnage was the demise of Grant Briffaults new blown Ford motor in his AA/Dragster. After a promising 1.08 sec 60 foot launch, the block cried enough and virtually split in half! Check out the pic below
